HONOLULU – A raccoon that eluded capture for more than six weeks was caught yesterday in the Kalaeloa area by U.S. Navy personnel. On June 24, 2023, the Navy reported to the Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture (HDOA) that a raccoon was spotted by a field camera in an area north of Eisenhower Beach.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) immediately set out traps in the area near a pond. Agricultural inspectors from HDOA’s Plant Quarantine Branch subsequently surveyed the area, conducted periodic searches and also deployed additional traps and field cameras. Trapping and monitoring activities were a joint effort, with additional assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services over the past few weeks. More than two dozen traps were set and the animal was captured yesterday morning by NAVFAC personnel. The 16-pound male raccoon was euthanized for rabies testing.

Raccoons are native to North America. They are omnivorous and their diets consists of plants, insects, birds, bird eggs, fish and small mammals. Raccoons may also carry rabies and other diseases. Hawai‘i is the only state in the U.S. and one of the few areas in the world that is rabies-free.

In March 2023, a raccoon was captured in a shipping container by movers unloading household goods at a residence in Iroquois Point.

Sightings or captures of illegal animals or invasive species should be immediately reported to the state’s toll-free Pest Hotline at 808–643-PEST (7378).
